Response

The watchers saw the star die in the sky, felt the burst of energy as all life in a system was extinguished and they saw hatred. Hatred, and immaturity and a disregard for the greater good. Passing this on up the chamber, it reached the Primicerii major council, who authorised emergency proceedings. Planetary defences word activated, shields set up, tractor beams prepared. What the Ceramus had done to the LCF world was bad... but this was just unacceptable, regardless of war. What was the motive, what was the purpose? Were they not pleased with killing everyone on the planet? Were they not pleased with destroying the planet? Were they not pleased with destroying everything around the planet? Did they have to destroy the ENTIRE SYSTEM? What was next, the destruction of the entire galaxy? Such unrestrained emotion from such primitive species. They are children, and must be taught.

But not in 100 thousand years had a child had the audacity to destroy an entire solar system without good reason...

Message to the LCF

"Anyone can destroy, parvulus, but it takes a truly great sentient to create. And tell me, for all your destruction here, what is it exactly that you have created from this act wanton destruction, can you name a single thing? I thought not. Do you have an excuse for yourself as to the destruction? There are now, as a result of the Universal War, under three hundred billion stars in the Milky Way. Do you understand that you have destroyed over 1/300 billionth of this galactic body? You destroyed it over what, some guns? Maybe I should transmit to them in the information on Dark Energy weaponry, and give them the powers of your anti-proton weapons in a weapon the size of a rifle. Do not forget how primitive you are, Lakfakalle. If it were up to us, we would have your leaders repurposed and your people brought to learning, they would be taught the error of their ways and forged into a new, greater state, powered by logic and reason and unity over your superstition and arrogance and hatred... But judgement is not ours to bestow and even if you embraced reason and surrendered now, I cannot guarantee the Ceramus would accept it. Beg fate that the Ceramus will be as merciful as us."

((Note there are estimated to be around 300 billion stars in the Milky Way))
